I was just looking at some pictures of someones Celica GT, and the person originally had no spoiler on the back and then must have gone out and bought a Stock GT-S Spoiler.
Here is my question...I personally like the look without the spoiler. Most of them aren't functional, and the look off the back is sleeker. AM I ALL ALONE ON THIS ONE?!?!? Look at high end sports cars, Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Masserati, the Lamborghini Murcielago and some Diablos, Corvette, Porsche(some of them)...They don't have spoilers at all! And DAMN do they look good.
I guess it is all image and personal prefrence...but why put on a spoiler (especially those REALLY BIG ones), most of which are not even functional, on a car that looks just fine without it? I think some of them just look BAD! (Like the big aluminum ones you see on Civics). I have very little respect for those spoilers that are NON-FUNCTIONAL! How much extra downforce are you really going to create on a front wheel drive car with a big wing on the back of it? Now if the car is being used for racing purposes and the person purchases a spoiler that has been tested for aerodynamics and purpose-full ness, and acctually does something...then i feel that is respectable.
Please let me know if i am the only one that thinks this.
If I am...well...i guess i am a loser and am not cool becuse i don't want to put a spoiler on my car just for looks.
